I think I can belp you here.
First, you need to find the correct opening. First find your anus, and move 1 inch forward. You should feel another hole here. That is your vagina. Now sitting on the toilet, take the tampon and slowly slide it in at an angel that goes with your body. If you need to, look at the paper directions that come with the tampons. It will fit. Push the applicator in until the part that you are holding, where your fingers are, is up against your labia("lips") once you are there, use your index finger to push the top skinny part of the tampon, and this will slide the tampon inside of you. once you pull the applicator (the plastic) out of you, the tampon should be left inside of you. ****if you do this and it starts sliding out, you did not out it in far enough...and if it hurts, it may be in at the wrong angle. Just take it out by pulling the rope slowly, never fast. Keep trying. eventually after practicing, you will get it right and It will be comfortable. when its in right, you wont feel it at all, the only thing that should be hanging out is the rope.
As far as changing them, make sure you change it every 6 to 8 hours to avoid any types of infection. again, pull slowly, and insert a clean one. Its gonna take a little while to get it, but you will.
I had the same problem at first and was scared to use them at first. Now that I have, its much more comfortable than pads. thats for sure!

EDIT:
Have you tried talking to your mom or a friend about this? They might be able to explain better than I can through the computer. It sounds like you're trying to put it into the hole you pee from, which isn't correct.

1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you, hold the tampon with the fingers that you write with. Hold the middle of the tampon, at the spot where the smaller, inner tube inserts into the larger, outer tube. Make sure the string is visible and pointing away from your body.
2. With your other hand, open the labia (the folds of skin around the vaginal opening) and position the tampon in the vaginal opening.
3. Gently push the tampon into the opening, aiming for the small of your back. Stop when your fingers touch your body and the applicator, or outer tube, is completely inside the vagina.
4. Once the applicator or outer tube is inside of you, use your index finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is visible) through the outer tube. This pushes the tampon into the vagina.
5. Once the inner tube is all the way in, use your thumb and middle finger to remove the applicator or outer tube. Make sure that the string hangs outside of the vaginal opening. Later, when you are ready to remove the tampon, hold the string and gently pull it downward until the entire tampon is out.
If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this happens, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again!
* Change your tampons at least every 4-8 hours or more often if necessary.
* Choose the correct tampon absorbency. Use smaller sized tampons when your flow is lighter. TSS occurs more often when super-absorbent tampons are used. Don't use these unless your menstrual flow is particularly heavy.
* Alternate between pad and tampon use. You might want to use pads at night, and tampons in the daytime.
* Wash your hands before inserting or taking out your tampon.
* Don't use tampons to absorb anything other than your menstrual flow. Only insert a tampon once menstrual blood is present.
